AiDEN was deployed on-site to quickly provide information to rescue teams in case of emergencies such as accidents or wildfires during the event. At the same time, it monitored participants' movement routes and real-time crowd density with high-resolution and thermal cameras, helping to ensure the safe completion of the race. Going forward, NeursLab plans to continue discussions with the Malaysian federal and state forestry departments on how AiDEN's technology can be introduced for forest and wildlife protection.
